Hi - We are Paul and Rudi and we want to tell you about a product we really believe in. It's called the EMBRACE+, and we think it can simplify your life.

Want the EMBRACE+ before it officially hits the market? Pre-order yours now in our online shop and be the first to wear it!

Nowadays smartphones affect every aspect of our personal and professional lives. We use it for organizing, planning and interacting with each other. But our busy lives require us to focus on work, activities and obligations. We are afraid we miss important calls, messages, and reminders. We become restless and lack concentration on almost anything while we keep checking our phones. It happens to us every day all the time. With the EMBRACE+, those days are over!

The EMBRACE+ is a smart piece of wearable technology that alerts you to changes in your environment. Through a combination of visual and tactile cues, the EMBRACE+ gives you the information you want to know - while your smartphone stays in your pocket or purse. It brings a smart and subtle change to our daily lifestyle as it keeps us connected to our phone no matter what we are doing, when we are doing it, and where we are at.

Through a simple set-up of some basic parameters on the smartphone you already have, the EMBRACE+ will show you what you want, and when you want to know it. What it shows, how it displays your information, and how frequently you see the information is completely up to you.

With the EMBRACE+ app you can match colors and vibration with your contacts, updates, reminders, and messages. It allows you to create your own unique piece.

The design is 30% thinner on top than the prototype in our video and photos

The EMBRACE+ band is made of the highest quality transparent silicone produced in the U.S. ensuring 100% silicone with no harmful additives. It has been strength-tested for durability and is lead-free. Silicone is made of Silica, the most common constituent of sand, and is a great alternative to plastics that might leak chemicals and rubber to which some people might be allergic.

For the Limited Edition we have just 500 pieces of hand-screen-printed EMBRACE+'s available because our print-screen 'Backer 1/500' can only produce a limited number of best quality impressions. The Special Edition is for those who want to add a special message or meaning to the EMBRACE+ and allows you to choose any words you can possibly imagine. We'll then set up an exclusive hand-screen-print just for you!

The EMBRACE+ is waterproof so you can wear it in the shower, on outdoor activities and while taking a dip in the pool.

For more information about the stretch goals please have a look at the updates

We have intentions to add a 'Find My Phone' (alarm in APP) function to the on/off button that is hidden inside the silicone band if we reach the $250K funding mark.

- $275K: 'Camera Shutter' function for on/off button.

Why we need your support

To bring the EMBRACE+ to mass-production we'll have to carry out the tooling and set up the molds. We will develop the EMBRACE+ smartphone application that is compatible with a variety of social media apps and OS based functions. We only use the best quality materials and components mainly coming from the USA, South Korea, Japan, and the UK. During the manufacturing process we'll test the materials and the EMBRACE+ according to the highest standards regarding consumer safety and environment set by both US and EU regulations. We'll acquire all neccessary licensing that is mandatory for incorporating state-of-the-art technologies into the EMBRACE+ giving you a totally new experience of wearable technology. Finally, we will ship out all rewards by express post to ensure fast and on-time delivery.

Thanks for backing us!

Risks and challenges

We carefully checked the possibility of pairing multiple EMBRACE+'s to the same mobile phone. In theory this has proven to work just fine. However, we cannot assure that each mobile phone will connect flawlessly with multiple EMBRACE+'s because every brand and model is different.

Kickstarter is not a store.
